Danielle Baird and Heather Doyle Fraser give you a play-by-play behind the scenes view of what it looked like to work together on Heather’s recent book 40 Weeks: A Daily Journey of Inspiration and Abundance.

This week, Danielle Baird and Heather Doyle Fraser will be talking about the power of community when you are writing your book. Books are born out of communities and authors thrive in these communities as well. Writing is a solitary endeavor, but you don’t have to do it all alone.

In the 8th webinar of this 10-part series, Danielle and Heather discuss:

The importance of surrounding yourself with good writers.

The importance of feedback and how it makes your book better.

The importance of witnessing other authors — their writing and process — and how this can help shape your writing, creativity, and individual process.

This week in our 7th webinar we’ll be talking about what happens outside of the writing process. As you are writing, you not only are working in your manuscript, but also setting the stage for the day when your book will be published. We’ll take you on a 60-minute journey where we will describe:

How you can share your work and process while gaining followers and adding people to your tribe.

How we both used Facebook and other social media to market our books.

How you can stay true to yourself, your message, and also sell your book to the people who want to read it.

Today is a different era in publishing. The gatekeepers are gone. No longer are you held to a traditional publishing company’s agenda, niche, whim, or financial needs. Today you can choose to self-publish, but there are so many choices and so many ways to do that — and the differences are in the details.

You are a prolific writer — you post on social media every day and you also write a blog. At some point you realize that you have a lot of content and maybe it’s time to write a book, but where do you start? You have so much content? How do you make sense of it all?

This week we’re talking about all things blog to book. In this webinar, you’ll learn:

How to sort through your writing.

How to make decisions about what goes in the book and what stays in the virtual world.

How to let your existing writing help you to create deeper pieces that engage your readers.

How to make shifts in your writing based on format — books sometimes require something different than a blog.

Bo Arnold, author of the forthcoming book Mood, Food & Gratitude joins Heather Doyle Fraser and Danielle Baird to discuss what it’s like to have the support of a creative development editor and coach during the writing process of her new book.

In this webinar we’ll be talking about:

Creating a book that works with your strengths as a writer. (You’ll hear how Bo handled completely re-organizing her book after writing the first draft of her manuscript and how that made the book better.)

Creating a writing practice that works with the way you work.

Getting vulnerable to capture your authentic voice as a writer.

Avoiding the trap of perfectionism as you near the end of the book writing process.
